Sorry I need to learn to read... didn't see the "object 'Administrator' does not exist" error.
That said, my workaround for the problem of forgetting the password was to create a new "admin2" user and use that to reset the password on admin itself. [root@gpfs cli]# ./mkuser admin2 -p Passw0rd -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin EFSSG0019I The user admin2 has been successfully created. EFSSG1000I The command completed successfully.

However, I was gone pretty much the entire month of November for a combination of vacation and SC17 and the vacation was so relaxing that I've forgotten the admin password for the GPFS GUI. :-( Is there anything I can do to recover from this short of deleting the GPFS GUI related RPM's, re-installing, and starting over from scratch? If that's what I have to do, it's no big deal as this is just our little 6-node test cluster, but I thought I'd ask before going down that route. Oh, and if someone has a way to accomplish this that they'd rather not share in a public mailing list for any reason, please feel free to e-mail me directly, let me know, and I won't tell if you won't tell (and hopefully Michael Flynn won't tell either!).... ;-) Thanks... - Kevin Buterbaugh - Senior System Administrator Vanderbilt University - Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> - (615)875-9633 _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fspectrumscale.org&data=02%7C01%7CKevin.Buterbaugh%40vanderbilt.edu%7C2c4a1bef0e00499c674b08d53cf622f5%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636481950193934604&sdata=GyfwFULjOHTUHI2iRFDMdE1BA1A9zJebk8IxeTRGSiY%3D&reserved=0> http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgpfsug.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgpfsug-discuss&data=02%7C01%7CKevin.Buterbaugh%40vanderbilt.edu%7C2c4a1bef0e00499c674b08d53cf622f5%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636481950193934604&sdata=Nr824%2F2JVtw4EosfKUypg3mvvaxTJOeHxZETl3mN2tI%3D&reserved=0> _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fspectrumscale.org&data=02%7C01%7CKevin.Buterbaugh%40vanderbilt.edu%7Cb77cd03d335947ea677008d53cf93ccf%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636481963514931393&sdata=aADPZlmzYyxhM0IhmZ4rUPOIJrR8DLodnSMhPrAJ5Dg%3D&reserved=0> https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgpfsug.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgpfsug-discuss&data=02%7C01%7CKevin.Buterbaugh%40vanderbilt.edu%7C2c4a1bef0e00499c674b08d53cf622f5%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636481950193934604&sdata=Nr824%2F2JVtw4EosfKUypg3mvvaxTJOeHxZETl3mN2tI%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<http://spectrumscale.org/>http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<http://spectrumscale.org/> https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgpfsug.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgpfsug-discuss&data=02%7C01%7CKevin.Buterbaugh%40vanderbilt.edu%7Cb77cd03d335947ea677008d53cf93ccf%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636481963514931393&sdata=Fp7gFRtowc%2BULDIPP2Wy09gdnKi7A%2BTNs8OC%2FuXpb%2Fs%3D&reserved=0
